It's a whole lot of words to say capitalism is making us depressed. No shit.

Mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety have been seen as an individual issue that is caused by a chemical imbalance. However, in the book Lost Connections, Johnan Hari points out the structural issues that have contributed to the rise of depression and anxiety in recent years. From becoming an increasingly lonely society to the alienation from meaningful work (somehow reminiscent of Marx’s theory), he explores how each causes exacerbates this “personal” issue. It was definitely a wonderful and informative read!
